The Nur is not a real Nur. As far as I know there are only 2 of them in the country, a third one arrives fairly soon. The guy found out about the event the night before and took it to a carwash that morning where they did a very average job on it.

I think only an owner knows how to get his/her car properly clean.

Satanic said he put 4 hours into cleaning his car, which he thought was a lot. I put 6 into mine to not even enter it. I know some would have put up around 20 over a few days.

The Judges could tell who had put the effort into cleaning their car and the points were appropriately awarded.

i put about 2 days into cleaning mine. took me 4hrs the wheels alone!

jayce, your not working are you? it would explain why you've posted so much over the last couple of days, ya bum!

Breather between old job and new job...

The Nur is not a real Nur.

Does anyone have any pictures of it front on where you can see the bonnet? From the quick glimpses I have seen, it doesnt have the NACA duct on the bonnet which would mean its not even a V-spec II (unless its had the bonnet replaced)?

Still, id give my nuts for a BNR34 :wassup:

Oooh and gracer still exists... I havnt seen that car around for a while, possibly one of my favourite GTR's of all time (not sure why, I just love it).

"GRACER" started life as an R33 GTS-T,by the way...

A-HA! The game is up! I just knew  he was a poser of the highest order...Is he on the forums at all?

That's a bit harsh. Damn Struggletown dwellers... Just kidding.

I had a bit of a chat with the owner and he admitted to me in his first sentence that it wasn't a real one. Also I didn't ask him where he bought it but I think I know the car from before. Powerplay imported it and then it belonged to a guy in Qld. Powerplay then resold it probably to this guy. It was the Qld guy who turned it into a Nur.

He is not on the forums but he did join the club on sunday. Owns a wrecking yard I think.

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
